After a few months of mechanical rebuilding starting from the bare frame, it is 99% done. The toughest part was finding a correct belt, cleaning the clutch sheaves and replacing the driven clutch/chain sprocket jackshaft. I have an nos Speedway belt that I measured at work using a belt measuring tool. I found a Goodyear 5L240 (5/8 x 24") cogged belt on eBay. It is a "touch" snug on the clutches, but the acceleration and operation of the original clutches is great. Rear fender and rear brake cable are new from BW, but the rest of the bike is original including paint, fuel gauge, seat, tires, engine. I freshened up the engine with new rings, seals, gaskets, valve lapping, coil. I have to re-locate the horn downward and adjust the high speed mixture on carb when the weather clears here in CNY.
